The Golden area has had virtual towns, virtual people, virtual factories....why not its very own Virtual Museum?
Since 1999 Golden's Virtual Museum has featured exhibits
from all eras of Golden's wonderful past. Much of what is seen here
cannot be seen by the general public, even in real-space museums or publications.
These exhibits are designed to tap all kinds of resources to give Goldenites
and all others the maximum benefit of the knowledge of Golden's history.
With organization and content provided by historian Richard J. Gardner, Golden's
Virtual Museum's emphasis is educating the public about those important things
no one else has revealed about Golden's colorful past.
